In nuce: Adobe releases version 22.5 of After Effects – the popular compositing and animation software. The functional scope of the update is rather straightforward, mainly concerning support for non-Western languages.
New functions: Version 22.5 entices users with the following three flagship functions:
- Left-hand fonts are now also animated correctly. Left-hand fonts are fonts in which the characters run from right to left. In addition, animation templates should be displayed correctly once they have been applied to the left-hand font.
- Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) and Latin letters (A, B, C, D, etc.) that appear within a different font are automatically recognised by After Effects – and animated correctly. According to the developer, users no longer need to make manual corrections here.
- Character Offset Effect: Now correctly recognises the Unicode range of Korean and Hebrew. Accordingly, only characters from these languages are displayed.
